  • Publication number: 20030172533
    Abstract: A scissor-type implement for use in removing a trailing end of a candle wick. The implement includes first and second elongated handle portions pivotally connected together at an intermediate location and each terminating in an opposing and inter engaging wick sectioning and storage member. Each of the wick sectioning and storage members includes a substantially semi-spherically bell shaped and interiorly hollowed housing. First and second incisor portions extend from the hollowed interior of associated housings and each includes an overlapping and angled blade edge. Upon the housing members first being partially displaced relative one another and arrayed around the wick, the handle portions are actuated in mating fashion. The overlapping blade edges successively grip the wick and section its trailing end in angular fashion from a remaining portion of the wick, the sectioned wick end being retained within a selected one of the matingly engaged housings.
